Master class on synchronous grammars:
Tutorial: “Synchronous grammars introduced” — Just as grammars are formal models of languages, synchronous grammars are formal models of relations between languages. They have applications in natural-language interpretation and generation, machine translation, sentence compression, and other areas. I will introduce and motivate the design of synchronous grammars, showing how a particular base grammar formalism, tree-adjoining grammar, is particularly suited for synchronization.For more information please contact Dr Adam Wyner (azwyner@abdn.ac.uk),
